I think I just saw where Mecum is going to have over 300 Vettes at Kissimmee? Can that be right??

Oh. I found it hard to believe they would have that many Vettes going across the block.

There is some coverage on NBCSN on selected days and times. You can see the TV schedule at: https://www.mecum.com/auctions/kissi...dditional-info

(Correction: the TV coverage is on NBCSN)

If that’s the case, should be some good ones to choose from.

I know if you log on to Mecum you can watch live feeds. All you need is an e-mail address to become a member, then you get updates as to when the feeds start. My plan was to go to Mecum to find a Vette, but I lucked out and found a super low mileage C5 near to my home.

Yeah, there does seem to be a lot of "The bid goes on" with Mecum.

It's all a dog and pony show. Run the bid up and catch a fish. At BJ they buy there own **** back. Watch on TV and really easy to see when they have two live bidders, they go nuts. Not to say there won't be a deal or two, but Mecum has his guy JG in the front row to ****** anything worth the money.

I went BJ Las Vegas back in 08 and had a great time. It was fun to see some great cars as well as meet celebrities. If you get a chance to attend I highly recommend it and if you can get floor seats totally worth it.

I've never been to a Mecum auction in person, but I've heard that it's really loud, at least in the part of the building where the auctioneering is done.

Not really i would say. We get bidders pass and can hang on stage or up in the seats, last year sat on stage most of saturday. Sometimes loud in staging area tho. Lol
